She told the court that the writer struck her on the set in 2008 after she asked him to write her character a funny exit line for a scene.

The actress recalled, “He got agitated and annoyed and didn’t respond.” When she approached him again later, she claims Cherry led her away from cast and crew and hit her with his right hand “upside the head.”

The shocked actress testified she screamed, “You hit me in the head! That is not OK.”

Cherry later apologized when visiting Sheridan in her trailer. She testified, “He said, ‘I am on bended knee begging your forgiveness. …’ He wrapped his arms around me and apologized again.”

Sheridan said she returned to work because she “wasn’t going to let everybody else down.”
She later raised the issue with producers of the show and claims that led to her dismissal. The case continues.
